CLEVELAND CABINET CO- NUNDRUM, Senator Bayard’s Trip to Albany— Speculations as to Its Meaning—Til- den’s Reported Hostility to Bayard. Senator Bayard spent a portion of last Sunday With Gov. Cleveland, and it 1s understood that Mr. Randall visited ex-Gov. Tilden last Saturday, ‘These visits have given rise to some discussion among democrats. It is said that Mr. Bayard went to see Gov. Cleveland at the latter’s request, to be consulted upon the subject of his going into the cabinet. Intimate personal and poiltical friends of the Delaware Senator believe that he went to Albany in pursuance of a request from Cleveland. AS one of them put it to-day: “You may be sure Bayard would not have gone ‘unless asked, ag he 1s the very last man who would by deed or word, press himself for the cabinet.” In connection with his visit, there is a report coming trom New York to the effect that Cleve- land will not select Bayard fora cabinet position because ‘Tilden is bitterly hostile to him. It is claimed by Tilden’s friends that he and they noml- nated and elected Cleveland, and that he cannot go back on thein or disregard ‘Tilden’s wishes. On the other hand it is asserted by democrats high in the party, that Cleveland owes Til- den nothing.
